So I went to Daria's Page who was so kind to sign my guestbook. And she had these really cool quotes on her feminist page. I personally enjoed this one.
"Women should not be enlightened or educated in any way. They should, in fact, be segregated as they are the cause of hideous and involuntary erections in holy men." [St. Augustine].
So I am thinking, its so funny how religous men always blame their downfall on a women just becuase they can't keep it in their pants.

The Evil Criminal Test
Congratulations, you're Elizabeth Bathory!
Hailing from sunny Transylvania, your first blood-related incident was when you stabbed a servant girl in the face with a pair of scissors for underperforming. Some of the red spray landed on your hands, and as you washed it off, you noticed that it left your skin fresh and young looking. From then on you were convinced that the blood of young girls was the secret to eternal youth.
Rather than killing girls outright by stabbing them or slitting their throats, you enjoy torturing them for weeks on end by pricking them with needles or prodding with sharp spikes - all to bathe in their blood. You've killed over six hundred women, all without raising a peep from the authorities.

I was thinking of adding a new feature to naomilog. I might have a weekly thing called.... Interesting screen capture of the week, where I show you intereting thing I saw on the internet during the week. Sound good? Eh whatever. I am so tired lately.

More menstral related blogging, I love this site! I have been meaning to blog it forever.

test? Ahha it works so I can directly link to my yahoo brief case. :) yay, 30mb of free storage! Ok so here is something a little personal, because i know you all wanted to know about my menstral cycle. I really like the word menstral, for some reason I like words that end in "al". Currently my favorite words are menstral and ephemeral.
Update Ok so maybe it doesn't work after all. Grrr, yahoo is sneaky, it shows up on blogger, but not on the blog. Erg, so incase you are really instrested in my menstration, here it is. FYI, red days are menstral days and green days are ovulation days. This was all pretty pointless wasn't it. I just want to feel a personal connection with my readers I guess, and how more personal can you get then menstration. So now we are communicating here on a personal level.

Ok so once again I have updated my wishlist, take a long good look at it. You see there are now many affordable items on it, and I know you wouldn't want to deprive me of those things. ;)
Oh I am so delireous at the moment, I have been staring at the moniter way to long and I think my brain is about to burst. The thing is I haven't really accomplished much on my project. I have been mainly thinking about doing it as opposed to actually doing it. Ever since I have been trying to have lucid dreams my mind has turned into something weird. I have yet to have a good lucid dream, but if I actually do have one one day I think I might go crazy.
In my dreams the bunnies are happy and look like the ones I scribble on paper. They love me and want to be my friend.

I am tired of doing statistics, I hate plant ecology. Does anybody want to do my homework for me? I'll give you a dollar.

2001-11-23

Too much red or what? Tell me what you think. So anyway I have something to confess. Please go easy on me, I was under the influence of turkey. I saw Harry Potter on Thanksgiving. And it was just as I suspected. Crap! Now I can criticize it with an informed opinion. It was hilariously crappy.
I wanted to see waking life again, but its no longer playing in theatres I think. :( I liked that part when that wizard dude was talking about Harry's scar, you know the one you can't see, because his mother loved him. Hahaha, that was funny!! I am sorry I am just not into the cheesy sentimental stuff.

Ok, so I am cooking for tomorrow and I needed a recipe that is on my site. It was then that I realize that I can't spell cheddar, I spelled it various ways including chdder and, chedder. I also realized that I give crappy directions and didn't give all the info needed. So I am a really bad person to come to for recipes, don't ask me for advice. I can only cook food, I can't teach or give advice. I updated the side dishes page, I need to update the rest too, make sure there are no mistakes. I thought my visitors would be so kind to inform me of mistakes, but then again maybe not. Well I made pecan pie, sweet potato pie (which I already tried because I made three and I am keeping one for myself, mmmmm it was good too), macaroni and cheeeeeeeeeeeeeese, and mashed potatos. I do not participate in cooking the bird because I do not like turkey. I don't like birds in general, eating them that is. Anyway, HAPPY TURKEY DAY!

I updated my wishlist just incase anyone wants to be generous for xmas. Be nice to me and I will be nice in return, I promise. OK that sounds like a bribe or something, but its not. Its just some general good advice you know, like "Do un to others as you want others to do un to you" kind of a thing. But yeah my wish list is updated. Just incase you wanted to know. ;)

2001-11-17

Well I just bought a load of cd's and spent more then I should have. But that is ok because I got Radiohead "I Might be Wrong", and Rufus Wainwright (who I saw live on sunday and was so good), amoung other good cd's.

2001-11-16

Sometimes I think of putting secret messages in my alt tags, and wonder if anyone would read them. I guess that is not so secret anymore. I have done it before but I don't think any are up anymore.

I am going to see Tori tonight!! Yay, I am so excited. weeeeeee

2001-11-15

Ok I will no longer get all psychotic in my blog. Ok? Anyway my brain went crazy, and I blame it on the book I am reading. Well my brain didn't exactly go crazy, but it was a very not me thing to do to go talking about what I actually think in my blog. Let me slap my self silly.
But I don't think that recognizing one's individuality, is pretentious in any way. I found this interesting peter. "Most people like to think that they are really different than the masses". It not that people want to be different from "the masses", we just are. We are all different, and I think it can be a good thing when we learn to separate our identity from a collective group. Oh crap here I go again. Well anyway its not that I am trying to separate myself from “the masses”, I am just realizing, that my tastes as an individual can not be categorized, and have labels put on them. I realize this must all sound like existential B.S., but recently it has all become very important to me. To understanding myself, and becoming happy with that.

2001-11-14

Ok I think I need to clarify myself here. I have nothing against people who like harry potter, maybe I should have used another example in the first place. But anyway here is my stance on the whole thing. I have this feeling that basically most of what is put out today in popular culture is crap, TO ME. Its all commercialized crap, and I feel like there is this huge media machine trying to force feed the crap down my throat, and basically I am spiting it out. Sorry if while spitting it out here in my blog I accidently spit on a few of you. That was not my intention. But its all just my humble opinion and I am not trying to dictate my thoughts to anyone in any way.
I like to be entertained by many forms of art, and I guess I am just frustrated that it is so hard for me to find anything out there which I consider viable and worthwhile, and most of what I see is watered down "art" which is made to appeal to the masses but somehow it doesn't appeal to me in anyway. I find art from individuals fascinating, when its original art from an individual and its not watered down for fear of alienating someone or not reaching a target audience. I don't like the idea of some executive deciding what should or should not be in a movie based on trying to hit a demographic. In effect you are altering that creators artistic vision and then it really no longer becomes what that person intends it to be. I want to see what that person intended it to be. Is this making any sense? I have a feeling I am getting off the the topic somehow.
Ok here is the gist of it. Harry Potter TO ME, is no longer just the nice little book that has children reading again. Its turned into this mass media commercial monster that annoys the hell out of me. Its like a gnat flying around my head. More irritating then anything. So I complain in my blog because I can. And I turned off the television because it got to me. I refuse to watch television, and I refuse to pay $9 for some crap movie that is formulated to get the widest audience possible. I reject it all. that is all I have to say I guess. Phew that is load off, now I can go back to talking about my usual stuff like how I am BORED. ;)

2001-11-12

You know certain people seem to think I am anti everything, which I am not because I am very pro me.That is being positive about something, right? Well anyway there are just so many things I find so hard to embrace when it comes to mainstream culture. For instance the whole Harry Potter phenomenon. I just don't get it, and I don't want to. And then there are people going crazy for that monsters inc. movie. I am sorry, I just can't jump on the bandwagon.
I dig the muppets so its not like I can't identify with the whole being kid like thing and all, but I am just not seeing the appeal of alot of these things. Maybe its that the fact the masses are going gaga for these things and its making me ill. I just don't want to be a part of it. Frankly, it sickens me. It also could have to do with the fact that the popular opinion of OTHER things going on right now also makes me sick.
Maybe I am going through this phase where i need to reject the popular culture in order to gain a perspective of who I am and my tastes as an individual. That is probably all just a load of crap, but I can't seem to explain why I cringe when I read or hear these god aweful movies/ book/ songs/ and whatever crap piece of media is out there.
Radio sickens me, most movies sicken me, and I am so easily sickened. This is as personal as I get in this little log of mine. I am actually really letting you read my inner most thoughts as opposed to some random thing that happend to me today. So now you see my true inner self. I am a truly grumpy, miserable, whiney, grumbly, person who is never pleased with anything and hates most things. I am wondering right now if I should press post & publish, but who really cares.

Homa from the tarnish board read somewhere that people can be profiled by their handwriting. So what do you think about me?

2001-11-11

Ouch, I hurt. I hurt less then this morning but I still hurt.
I have stuff to do, but it seems like I just can't do it. I can't do it, I need too, but I can't. This sucks.
You know I really hate the smell of perfume and cologne, its just gross to me. I use to know a guy that smelled like Downy Fabric Softner. That was nice. I liked that. This was all pretty random, my brain has been pretty wierd lately.
So did anybody listen to me and go see the movie waking life? I bet not, nobody takes my advice. :P

2001-11-08

I have a headache. But life is peachy. What do you think about people who write about themselves in the 3rd person. Do you do it, and why? I know some of you do it. I won't name names. But its weird when people refer to themselves in the third person. Naomi thinks its really weird. Oh yes, oh yes she does.

2001-11-06

I am no longer bored but busy. I don't have anything to write about either. But sometimes I wonder why the letters A E and S are the only letters on my key board which are really light and fading away.

2001-11-03

If I could do one thing for you today it would be to recomend to movie Waking Life. Go see it, its amazing.

2001-11-02

2001-11-01

Man what is wrong with me??? So anyway I am not going to turn this into the gripelog again. I refuse to gripe and be all pissy and whiney. Oh but I can't help it.
